Also means
ever
Usage Note
Jamais usually means 'never', paired with ne, but in questions or after si it swings to 'ever' — plus que jamais means more than ever. Standing alone, jamais ! is an emphatic 'no way', and à jamais means forever.
Examples
"Je n'oublierai jamais ce jour."
Natural Translation
I'll never forget that day.
Literal Translation
I will-never-forget that day
